As Caro snores I ease away
the flatulence of yesterday
hands crossed upon my chest, and muse
on anything I care to choose
unless, preoccupied, I find
I muse upon what’s on my mind.
*
The goodnight chat and morning kiss
contribute much to married bliss:
where once was giddy passion, now
through heart to heart and brow to brow
we two increasingly contrive
to keep intimacy alive.
*
For you and I and you and me
on fundamentals all agree
and correspond in all but such
as profits brain and pleases touch:
I offer thanks near every night
that you are perfect (almost) (quite).
